Stacey Dooley has admitted that she took her daughter Minnie to a Nevada brothel when she was just eight months old during a TV appearance on Tuesday.

The TV star, 38, is known for fronting hard-hitting documentaries that shine a light on some of life's darkest places. 

In her documentaries so far, she's explored topics such as stalking, fast fashion, poverty, prostitution and religion.

However, Stacey has admitted she brought her daughter along while filming in a legal brother in Nevada in the US.

Appearing on ITV's This Morning with her husband Kevin Cliffton, the presenter made the admission as she prepares to take her daughter on the road while starring in 2:22 A Ghost Story.

Stacey jokingly told Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary that the couple were 'dragging her along' on their tour.

The star then added: 'She's a good sport, ain't she?

'Because she's always been on the move, she's quite adaptable.

'I took her to a brothel in Nevada once when she was eight months!'

Kevin then interjected: 'I was sitting in a trailer with her outside the brothel for like three days and three nights reading the same thing.' 

'We had to get special permission from the sheriff because she was under 18,' Stacey added to the stunned hosts.

The former Strictly star reassured Alison and Dermot that it was 'all above board' as they quickly moved on with the interview.

Previously speaking about the experience, Stacey told The Telegraph how she had already signed up to front the doc without realising Minnie would be only eight months.

She explained: 'I have to then rent a trailer to put [my child] in. Her dad stays in this trailer with Minnie looking out the window while I'm filming and then going back to the trailer to breastfeed Minnie, and all the girls [working at the brothel] are like: "Morning Miss Minnie!"

'I'm like: she'll be open-minded if nothing else!'

The documentary aired in 2024 as part of her series with Sky, called Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over USA. 

She welcomed first child Minnie with professional dancer Kevin, 42, in January 2023, the pair fell for each other while competing on Strictly Come Dancing together in 2018. 

In March, Stacey released a book called Dear Minnie, in which she wrote a heartfelt letter to her now two-year-old.

In the letter, she detailed the moment she realised she was expecting back in 2022, after taking a pregnancy test in the Selfridges toilet.

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV1 from 10am and is available to stream on ITVX.
